The Story of Us by Adam Rutherford tells the story of how we became who we are. We like to think of ourselves as exceptional creatures, but is there really anything special about us that sets us apart from other animals? After all, many of our “unique” qualities that supposedly make us human can be found in other animals. In this original and fascinating journey through life on Earth, Adam Rutherford explores how many things once thought to be uniquely human are not: we are not the only species that communicates, makes tools, uses fire, or has sex for pleasure, but not only for procreation. Evolution has allowed us to develop our culture to a level of complexity that surpasses any other observed in nature. The publishing layout of the book is saved in PDF A4 format.
